Tuscarora Almanac - October 2, 1955 - The Book of Last Runs

This is the last day of Long Island Railroad service on the Rockaway Peninsula between Rockaway Park and Far Rockaway. It is also the last day of LIRR operation on the portion of the Rockaway Beach Branch on the Queens Mainland. Service will be cut back from Hamilton Beach to Ozone Park.

Thanks. But wasn't the portion from Whitepot Junction to Ozone Park still considered the Rockaway Line- even if trains never got to Rockaway after 10/2/55?

It certainly might have been. I don't know if the LIRR ever got around to renaming the stub.

Did MP-75's ever run on the Rockaway Branch, particularly to Rockaway Park?

Not likely since they weren't put into service until 1963 long after LIRR service to the Rockaways ended.
